GoodRelations is a standardized vocabulary for product, price, and company data that can (1) be embedded into existing static and dynamic Web pages and that (2) can be processed by other computers. This increases the visibility of your products and services in the latest generation of search engines, recommender systems, and other novel applications.

Dear all: We are proud to announce the first prototype of the RDF2RDFa tool, which aims at simplifying the publication of RDF for Web developers. This tool converts arbitrary RDF/XML documents into a block of div/span elements without human-readable content. Such a block of markup can be simply pasted before the closing "</body>" tag of an XHTML Web resource. This allows embedding even sophisticated RDF models into Web pages (even complex OWL models etc.). In the context of GoodRelations, you can use the tool to include rich descriptions of your business into your Web pages, even if you just have access at the level of a CMS. Note that PyRDFa and other extractors can extract RDFa even from pages that are not proper XHTML+RDFa. The tool is available at http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2rdfa/ For background information, please see our Technical Report at http://www.heppnetz.de/files/RDF2RDFa-TR.pdf Acknowledgments: This service is provided by Roberto García, from the GRIHO Human-Computer Interaction and Data Integration Research Group at Universitat de Lleida and by Martin Hepp and Andreas Radinger from the E-Business and Web Science Research Group at Bundeswehr University Munich. We would like to thank Mark Birbeck, Kavi Goel, Othar Hansson, Kingsley Idehen, and everybody who contributed to the original discussion on semantic-web at w3.org, for useful feedback on the initial idea, and Andreas Wechselberger for testing our snippets in MediaWiki.
